smartcomp 2017 registration

Students rates (S1 and S2) only apply to students not presenting (nor authoring) papers at the conference.

All authors (including workshop authors) should have submitted a registration under category F1 or F2 to cover their paper publication.

All registrations include participation in all technical sessions, workshops, refreshment breaks, reception and banquet.

Students registered under category S1 or S2 must further provide proof of current student status (e.g., a valid student card) when picking up the conference badge.

Registration Policies for AuthorsTo be published in the IEEE SMARTCOMP 2017 Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted (regular, WIP/demo, PhD forum, or workshop) paper is required to register for the conference at the full rate (F1 or F2), i.e. each accepted paper must have one of the authors registered at the full rate (F1 or F2). The accepted paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter arranged in advance of the event who is qualified both to present and answer questions. One full registration is valid for one accepted paper. Accepted and presented papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore®. Registration categories S1 or S2 cannot be used to cover any paper publication.

Authors must register by 28 April 2017.

Policies on No-shows and Substitute PresentersEach paper must be presented by an author of the paper in person at the conference. Presentations via teleconference (e.g., Skype) or pre-recorded tape are not permitted. Permission to have the paper presented by a substitute presenter may be granted by the TPC Chairs under certain extraordinary circumstances. Authors with travel contingencies should consider arranging a substitute presenter. A substitute presenter must be qualified to answer questions regarding the paper.

A paper not presented or presented by a non-author without prior written approval by the TPC Chairs will be removed from the final conference proceedings before uploading to IEEE Xplore®. No refund will be made to authors of these papers.

Refund/Cancelation PoliciesAll refund/cancellation requests must be received by 28 April 2017. There will be an administrative fee of HK$800 deducted from each refund/cancelation. There are absolutely no refunds for authors with registered papers or those who have requested and have received a visa/invitation letter. No refund will be given for any paid registration after 28 April 2017.
